My darling Olga dear,
A big kiss and loving thanks for yr. dear letter. Truly written like a boot with very many buttons off but still very dear to old Mama's heart. Thank God that you have nothing serious the matter with you and the Dr will be sure to let you get up after he has been. Very good news fr. A. Ella yesterday and A. Irène who kisses you and is greatly looking forward to coming here later on. A. Minny and U. George lunch with Papa and then I shall have to see them. My cover is growing rapidly and I hope to begin the border to-night already. I sent up yr. work thinking you might like to get on with it, if S. I. reads to you, give her my love and say that I hope her cousin is better, hope to see her S. I. to-morrow at last. Don't make grimaces nor talk like that horrible boy F. A spoke by telephone to cousin 2 yesterday — is day Duty Officer. Good-bye for now little girly. A big kiss fr. yr. old Mama
